This is another recipe I made to serve as finger food at our New Year celebration over the next couple of days, & believe me these make a great tasting, flavorful bite! Definitely want to make another batch ASAP to use as a topping for frozen yogurt! Thanks for sharing this easy-to-make recipe ~ A KEEPER!
